Combine the granulated sugar, cornstarch and salt in a bowl over a pan of simmering water.<\/p>\n<p>Over low heat, slowly whisk in the warm water. Then add the lemon juice and zest, egg yolks and butter. Cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture comes to the boil and thickens. The lemon curd should mound when dropped from a spoon. Remove from the heat. Press a sheet of parchment paper onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming, and cool thoroughly.<\/p>\n<p>Beat the egg whites, cream of tartar and vanilla with an electric whisk. when the egg whites become foamy, begin adding the caster sugar a tablespoon at a time. Continue beating until stiff peaks form. Pour the cooled lemon curd into the cooled pie crust. Top with the meringue and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the meringue peaks turn golden brown. Transfer to a wire rack and cool before serving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This light and tart pie is the perfect way to end a special meal.
